Abstract:Purpose:
To compare the effective optical zones (EOZs) of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (F-LASIK) by utilizing topographic methods on the tangential curvature difference map at postoperative 1 year and to identify parameters linked to the EOZ alterations following both surgeries.
Methods:
Myopic patients who underwent SMILE or F-LASIK were included in the study. Patients with refractive… Show more
